Magical performance from Azle just now. The show reminds me of Miamisburg's from last year. Gorgeous floor, soundtrack, and choreo!

Same!

Congrats to Grand Oaks and Azle for making Scholastic A Finals! 🎉 Seeded 9th and 11th, respectively.
Settling in to watch A Class Finals shortly.

Went back to watch Carmel-Avon, TW’s were much cleaner as everyone had been saying, 1st time seeing Tarpon and there’s just so much going on, some times a bit to much, Carmel was much better, LOVE Arcadia, and Avon was just Avon

Honestly, from a breadth of talent perspective, TWHS is the most impressive scholastic guard I've ever seen. And I think it's quite obvious, too. More than any other guard, watching them is like watching a strong IW finalist, because of those insane numbers combined with the difficulty. But I agree that there's room for growth in figuring out what WGI wants. 😂

I agree with you 100% on this, @Rubisco!!!!!

TW’s still in 3rd and up in score by a couple points!! I might have slept through my alarms for SW, but they seem to be holding their ground, hoping for a no-drop run tomorrow night! And Azle/Grand Oaks still looking strong as well! 

ok good, Carmel up to 5th, 3 points ahead of WC in 9th. a little twilight zone-ish before.
tw still in 3rd, 1.1 pts off 2nd, 1.2 pts ahead of tarpon. 3rd's prob where they'll end up in finals, which is fab. wasn't even expecting them to show up at Dayton this yr so it's a pleasant surprise. really a treat.
cool to see them develop into a consistent medalist quality group. guard is finally as strong or stronger than the band!!! Lol. think they already very obviously have the talent for gold. designers (designer?) just need to figure out how to frame that talent in a gold medal worthy way. not to say the staging/choreo this year is weak by any stretch of the imagination, it's quite fantastic, esp considering it mostly comes from one person. but once u get to the tippy top of the world class u gotta deal w/ those legendary design teams. breadth of talent and lots of tosses won't get u gold. which really that prob SHOULD be more of a consideration on the sheets, difficulty/risk and whatnot, bc it rewards the actual performers a bit more, but alas it is not, not explicitly anyway lol. variety range and depth do provide a particular challenge of their own.

I think any slight issues they may be having are certainly influenced by nerves. First of all, it's Dayton. Second of all, this is the first time the entire season they've competed against anyone. They've essentially been giving (judged) exhibition performances the whole season. So, it's like smooth sailing until the world championships as far as nerves go.

Team Texas seems to be off to a great start!
Azle with the highest score for the entire Cintas Center Scholastic A panel and 3rd highest score overall. Grand Oaks with the 5th highest score at Truist Arena and 8th highest overall. Lots of close scores, so it will be interesting to see what happens in more direct comparisons, but it seems like Texas could medal in SA this year. Hays and Wiley also looking like possible finalists.
In Scholastic Open, Marcus in 2nd, Westlake in 4th. Absolutely fantastic! And they were all judged on the same panel, too. Hopefully at least one of them medals! Bowie also looking like a likely finalist. Clear Brook shouldn't be too far off, either.
In Scholastic World, I'm a little bummed that FloMo didn't make it to semis, but this is honestly one of the strongest SW cohorts ever, if not the strongest. Case in point: Carmel, last year's champion, in 7th (!). Skills are improving fast on the scholastic scene. But yeah, FloMo can hold their heads up high. Obviously, congrats to TWHS in 3rd. Hopefully they can keep that placement or even improve on it.
But yeah, I mean, strong medalist contenders in all 3 scholastic classes. Way to go!
On the Independent side, Origins in 7th, Mirage in 8th -- neck and neck again. That's fantastic! Origins A looking like a strong finalist contender as well. In Open, Menage in 3rd, Glory in 5th, so another couple medal contenders!
I can't wait to see some of it starting tomorrow!

see id be a lot more impressed by Paramount's breadth of talent, full ensemble 7s, if they didn't have their pick of the litter during the audition process lol. one of those things that's more impressive to me on the scholastic side bc that talent is built from the ground up.
obvi extremely talented performers, still don't dig the design.

yaaaaasss! slaaaaay! i love pleasant surprises!!

Westlake currently in 2nd in open class!!!  

3rd place for tw, not bad at all, just need to lock in your performance. im not fully convinced the staging design is strong enough to compete for 2nd but we'll see.

Tomorrow's the day!
I probably won't catch very many guards on Flo tomorrow. Definitely hoping to see most of the competition starting Friday night!

fusion is quite clean. hmmm....

Really enjoyed this!

Congratulations to all of the guards that competed this past weekend at the state championships! If your season has ended, an extra special thank you for all of your hard work throughout the season. Hopefully you made some great memories!
Sorry for the delay, I've been unsuccessfully searching for videos on YouTube. 😅
